Education World ® Professional Development Channel: Class Meetings: A Democra... - 0 views

  • "Class Meetings are most successful in classrooms that have a warm, caring, supportive environment -- classrooms in which students feel comfortable to learn, feel safe to share their ideas, and feel free to ask questions and take risks," explains Styles. "Students in those kinds of classrooms are supportive of one another, work together cooperatively, encourage one another, assume responsibility for their own learning and behavior, and are allowed to make decisions."

Homework Tips for Parents-- Pg 3 - 0 views

  • Reading Homework Tips for Parents Have your child read aloud to you every night. Choose a quiet place, free from distractions, for your child to do his nightly reading assignments. As your child reads, point out spelling and sound patterns such as cat, pat, hat. When your child reads aloud to you and makes a mistake, point out the words she has missed and help her to read the word correctly. After your child has stopped to correct a word he has read, have him go back and reread the entire sentence from the beginning to make sure he understands what the sentence is saying. Ask your child to tell you in her own words what happened in a story. To check your child's understanding of what he is reading, occasionally pause and ask your child questions about the characters and events in the story. Ask your child why she thinks a character acted in a certain way and ask your child to support her answer with information from the story. Before getting to the end of a story, ask your child what he thinks will happen next and why.

NEA: Helping Your Student Get the Most Out of Homework - 0 views

shared by ko schlappi on 07 Aug 08 - Cached
  • here are several ways in which you can help: Send your children to school each day, well-rested, fed and with a positive outlook. Take an active interest in your children's schooling. Ask specific questions about what happens at school each day and how your children feel about it. Try not to let any of your own negative experiences keep you from supporting and encouraging your children's learning. Let them know how much you care about education by continuing your own learning both informally and formally, to impress its importance upon them. If possible, set up a quiet, comfortable study area with good lighting and the school supplies that your children need. This can be almost anyplace in your home; you don't need a special room. Set a family "quiet time" where you and your children can work together on homework, reading, letter writing and playing games. Allow your children to study in the way each of them learns best. For example, some children work best when they're lying on the floor with background music playing. Make homework a daily activity and help your children develop good homework habits.

Homework: - - 0 views

  • Parents often have questions about why homework is assigned, how beneficial it is, and how they may best help their child complete homework. A recent study reported on five major themes of parents' thinking about homework: (1) concern about their child's unique characteristics as balanced with school demands, (2) questions about the appropriate level of independent work assigned to their child, (3) concerns about how they can best structure homework activities, (4) concerns about how involved they should be in helping their child complete homework, and (5) reflections on what it means to them when they are or are not successful at being able to help their children complete assignments (Hoover-Dempsey, Bassler, & Burow, 1995).

Education World ® - Curriculum: The Homework Dilemma: How Much Should Parents... - 0 views

  • Just what kind of parental involvement -- and how much involvement -- truly helps children with their homework? The most useful stance parents can take, many experts agree, is to be somewhat but not overly involved in homework. The emphasis needs to be on parents' helping children do their homework themselves -- not on doing it for them.
